Finally the real plot is beginning I'm sorry for dragging it out.

I put the key into the keyhole and turned it around. A small clicking noise spread through the hallway, but in my ears, it sounded like a big bang.
I slowly opened the door and held it open for my guest. Marui Bunta.
I swallowed nervously before shutting the door after us, being sure to lock it. Ever since the 'incident' two years ago, I always need the door to be locked, or I'll throw a fit.
"You really live here?" Marui said awestruck and looked around the house.
Mom didn't like the idea of me living in a small apartment, so she rented a house instead. Even though it's not really big, it's still too big for just one person to live in.
I peeked over at Marui and smiled goofy. Wouldn't it be nice if we could live together?
"Sit down," I told him and pointed towards the sofa. "I haven't really gotten to do any shopping yet, so I don't know if I have anything."
I opened the fridge and glared at the content. Or loss of it.
"Hmm..we have; bread, bread, bread and…chocolate."
"You keep the bread in the fridge?" Marui asked as if I was stupid or something.
"I must've been tired," I muttered before taking out a piece of bread and putting it on the table.
"This won't do," I said loudly. "Marui, we're going shopping."
----
I felt very much like a spoiled little brat, being able to buy whatever I wished for. Mother struck it big in England, and we were definitely considered upper class. And mom having entrusted me with her platina card, meant no starving for me.
So we ended up buying ice cream, gum (in several different flavours), potato chips and soda. I don't think this is what mom wanted me to buy with her card, so I decided to buy some real food too.
"Today I'll make fried rice with scampi for you," I said, making my voice deep and snobbish.
"I can't wait," Marui played along, his voice sharp.
Double checking that the door was locked, I went to the kitchen and started cooking.
"I didn't know you could cook," Marui said as he entered the kitchen.
"I learned it from mom. She said she wouldn't let me come back unless I knew how to make a decent meal." I chuckled when I remembered her stern face.
"I can't believe she let you move back alone. She must have fate in you."
I smiled and wrapped an arm around Marui. Marui's face flushed and he pulled slightly away, but I would have nothing of that.
"Two years is a long time," I whispered into his ears, making Marui shudder.
"I know," he whispered back stroking my hair affectionately.
A sudden fuzzing sound totally ruined the moment. I looked angrily at the frying pan, only to notice that the food was starting to burn itself.
"SHIT!!!".
----
Luckily, I with my supreme cooking skills, managed to save our dinner from oblivion.
"Chinese food is actually very good," Marui said with his mouth full of rice.
I merely nodded and took another bite of my scampi. I looove scampi.
Marui continued talking about food and its supremacy, but I didn't pay attention. I liked this, sitting in a comfortable sofa, in a warm house, listening to him talking. And I realized that right now I was happy. Truly, genuinely happy.
"Are you even listening to me?" Marui accused me loudly, spraying some rice at the same time.
"Say it, don't spray it," I laughed and wiped the pieces of rice from my face.
"Sorry," Marui said and continued eating.
"I love you."
The words slipped from my lips before I could restrain them.
Marui stopped eating and lay his plate on the table.
"Why the sudden outburst?" he laughed, but i could see the spark in his eyes and the faint blush on his cheeks.
I sat the plate down and closed the distance between us.
"In those two years I never stopped thinking about you, missing you."
I slowly caressed his chin and gently lifted his head up.
"Akaya.."
His voice was merely a breath and it tickled my lips as I leaned down and kissed him.
Marui hesitated at first, but slowly gained the confidence to kiss back. The kiss was slow, trying and almost sloppy. I think we were both afraid of crushing the other if we kissed just a little harder.
"I'm not made of porselain," Marui whispered between the kisses and I smiled challengingly.
"Neither am I."
And this time we crushed our lips together, bruised them, wanting all the contact we could get. And it was so good my heart was beating faster and faster and I felt dizzy.
Not wanting to let him go, I pressed our bodies together hard, my fingers digging into his skin, sure to bruise. But he made no noise of complain or discomfort, he just kissed me back.
Finally breaking apart, I found my breath to be heavy and I gasped for air.
"Wow," I heard Marui mumble beneath me, and I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Wow indeed," I said kissed him again.
Suddenly I found us lying on the floor, having rolled of the sofa.
"Got you," Marui snickered, pinning me to the floor. I fought against him, but in my position it was difficult to move.
Marui lowered his head and daringly licked my neck. Surprised by this sudden feeling, I leaned into his lips and mewled. I'm not proud of it, but that's what happened.
Marui snickered and gave me a questioning look.
"What kind of sound what that? You sound like a kitten."
My stomach jolted and an eerie feeling hit me.
Marui slowly licked my ear before whispering ever so gently; "you're my little kitten."
He lifted his head up again, but his face was contorted. It wasn't Marui's face. Instead a familiar smirk appeared and two red shot eyes looked down on him.
"Yes, you're my kitten," Sawada laughed and gripped his hands harder.
A heavy feeling pushed against my chest, hindering me from breathing properly. I felt the fear immobilize my body, denying me everything but sight. I watched as Sawada leaned closer to kiss me.
I wanted to scream, but my voice was caught in my throat.
'You're dead..'
He leaned closer before diverting his head, now moving for my neck again.
'It can't be you..'
When I felt his lips on my neck, the paralyze was suddenly gone. I wrenched by hands free and hit Sawada as hard as I could in the head.
"What the fuck.."
I curled into a ball on the floor, trying to ease my throbbing heart. I felt dizzy, nauseous and weak.
"Don't touch me," I screamed loud.
"What? Akaya?"
I opened my eyes and saw Marui's shocked face.
"Are you OK?"
He reached out to me, but I slapped away his hand.
"Don't ever touch me again. I'm NOT your kitten."
I felt tears stream down my face, and the fear pound in my body.
'He's back, he's back, he's back to take me…'
The sentence kept repeating itself in my mind over and over again. I suddenly felt my stomach twist and ran to the bathroom. I showed my head down the toilet just in time. Large chunks of scampi and the delicious fried rice I made before, spurted through my throat, mouth and into the toilet.
When my stomach was finally empty I wiped my mouth and leaned my back against the bathtub.
A gently knock sounded from the door, but I ignored it.
"Akaya?"
"Go away," I said weakly to the door.
"What just happened? I don't understand?"
Marui's voice sounded so frail it stung my heart.
"I SAID GO AWAY!!"
A slight whimper came from the hallway, but I suppressed it. I don't want to hear it. Not now.
I turned on the water sprinkler, drowning all the noise from outside the bathroom. I put my hand in the rising water and sighed as it sent shivers down my spine. The water was cold, ice cold. And it felt good.
I don't know how long it took before I opened the bathroom door, but when I did, the house was quiet.
"So he really did go home," I muttered bitterly to myself.
When I entered the kitchen I saw that he had at least cleaned up the mess I had caused.
'I guess that's something…'
I was too tired to think, too tired to do anything. Anything except double checking all the locks in the house.
When I entered my room, I locked the door behind me and secured the window. I even went so far to check under the bed.
When all was clear, I slowly laid down on the bed, pulling the covers over me.
I was extremely tired..
..but I didn't get any sleep that night.
SO..Finally getting exciting?? I just hope I haven't lost all my readers XP
